That was probably the weirdest confession I've ever heard. Anyway, what's up with Iori jumping off a bridge in the PV?

I think Inaba was probably kidding I mean she did give that weird smile afterwards. It was probably just to tease him.

I hope Iori isn't going to die. I'm guessing someone confessed to Taichi and she heard it so she decided to jump off the building. Just a guess, from the title of the next episode.

The characters in this anime are seriously refreshing. Everyone is so perfect i don't have 1 complaint about this anime and thats pretty rare for me.

Ive seen alot of anime but not one quite like this in terms of character development. Probably the closest thing to it has to be Toradora!.

Taichi x Iori is a cute pairing, but Taichi x Himeko pairing looks interesting to knowl. <3

and lol at Aoki, a carefree guy sermoning the blunt, and short tempered Himeko.

What the fk? o_O really, i mean REALLY?! this is somehow sick.Friends masturbate to each other?... no that's not the case...i don't know what to say, im surprised as hell.Didnt expect that from this show at all.
If Inaba really masturbated to him...maybe Iori and Yui did too, and then it means all friends are...NO, I GOT A HEADACHE.

??5/5 one of best shows from this season.There are alot of good shows in this season, but Kokoro Connect is definitely in my top 3.
Next episode will be sick.

Lol this series is a pure win for me. Every single episode is intense, and i loled hard @ the masturbation one. Seriously did not see it coming, i'd pictured it would be some stupid joke but what the hell, that really got me hard lol. Really good episode. Seems like the next one's gonna be even better, oh god i just love how they do the preview.

I thought that the 'confessing' of the next ep title is that Aoki is confessing to Yui, but it would be more interesting if it was like you said.

Anyway, very surprising ep - I think this is the best anime this season if it goes on like this.

I don't think that Inaba was joking around with her secret, she was smiling because she knew the secret would shock him. That and she just loves to tease him :P

There was practically no body switching in this episode, and I'm surprised that they revealed everyone's trauma this early into the series.

And I really love how this show does their previews!

This anime is awesome, perfect balance of comedy and drama... and the character interactions are golden, gotta give props to the VAs as much as to the author.

Oh yeah, the preview gave me goosebumps, even though it's highly unlikely Iori would actually die.

Lol Inaba is now my favorite character!

And the next episode is looking to be quite crazy. Its hard to tell just what direction this show will take. Will it be a comedy, a romance, a drama, or will it have a tragic ending?

I don't think it will happen, but it is very possible that heartseed decides to push some of the characters to their deaths one by one for his amusement. Characters that die usually have an episode devoted to them before they do.

But this is definitely the surprise show of the season

This episode is hilarious haha, I enjoyed it quite a bit xD. However......What happened at the end though while it was surprising, made me feel a little uncomfortable....Mainly because....I like Taichi x Iori pairing....And I like Inaba but.....I really don't want to see Inaba get between Taichi and Iori....The preview of the next episode confuses me a bit......Mostly because....It makes it seem like Taichi tells Inaba he loves her, but earlier this episode he was about to tell Iori that he's in love with her.....It's all very confusing >.<.

Going with what someone else said....I think someone (Inaba) confesses to Taichi, and before Taichi could say anything Iori overhears it, goes running off and he chases her. Her eyes are also vacant which makes me believe that she's gone numb to protect her mind from the emotional pain of it.

If Taichi and Inaban develops a romantic relationship I'm going to be so disappointed D:

Iori I'm for you and Taichi T_T

Tough ,don't get me wrong xD I think Inaba is really a cool and funny character , but I just can't see her with Taichi ._. Maybe it's just because I ship Taichi and Iori and she also said stuff like " you two need each other , Taichi you like Iori " so.. you snatching him away after saying those things.. I don't really appriciate it xD It makes me wonder if there'll be something like.. a School Days end? lol

Watch this episode with Iori and Inaban developments then think back about previous episode with Yui, now I don't know which pair to ship anymore.

Anyway, that's extremely good! And to think that it would exceed my HIGH expectation from previous episode, oh man.

Iori's problem is quite complex. Think back about what she said in Aoki's body about personalities makes sense. She is afraid that no one will recognize her. Taichi promised that he will always recognize her whichever body she is in. I think she was immediately testing him by speaking in masculine speech. Taichi needs to live up to his promise.

Inaban's problem is more straight forward. People not trusting others is normal. She just overthink it too much.

Taichi is a damn nice guy who can make every girls fall for him, but I feel that he is having trouble dealing with Iori's problem. One reason maybe that he is in love with her. So he is not making his moves comfortably around her.

From the symptoms Inaba was having i was able to conclude the following the reason why she collapsed was lack of sleep the other two symptoms vomiting and headache where migraine which is caused be lot's of stress.
I knew those two symptoms right away since i suffer from migraine as well as such i am also able to tell that it wasn't severe for Inaba yet.
If it was severe she would not be able to think clearly she would get a fever she would not be able to tolerate light or sound and the pain can even paralyse, i got it so bad sometimes that i couldn't even sleep all i could do was wait for it to go even nothing else.
Migraine usually last between 4 to 48 hours.
Luckily most of Inaba stress seemed to have been solved when she told her worries to the group so her chances of getting migraine again anytime soon have decreased.

That was probably the weirdest confession I've ever heard.
The part where Inaba told she used Taichi to masturbate wasn't a confession she was just saying she did the same thing he did.
How often do you think about the people you know or people you encounter that they look good for most people this happens pretty often.
And most people think about having sex with that person what it would be like those thoughts are basically what many people masturbate to.
This doesn't mean that they automatically want to engage a relationship with that person or even have sex with that person there just thinking about it.

Like the rest of their group, I didn't much care for Inaba's confession. On the other hand, Iori's issue brings up an interesting question. How much of your personality if yours, and how much of it is influence from the media and people around you? Tabula rasa, and to what extent. That aside, it feels like this is the end of assigning a trauma/secret per person. It doesn't look like the boys have any secrets, and it seems they may expand on Inaba's situation, and move on to their current dilemma of personality-switching, or the developing one involving their feelings.

Also, that transition between the preview and the ending was nice.

My son, who is twelve, has been watching this with me, though he has NOT seen this episode yet. I'm generally very open with him about sex and explain as needed with the questions as they come up, often in the context of an anime show we are watching together. I myself like to think I don't have any hangups about the topic. However...

I am not ready for him to watch this episode!

Anyway, while I thought it was an awesome episode, the part I think I liked best was the background music being played while Inaba explained to Taichi about her inability to trust anybody.

It's not so much the mature theme. He's seen scenes were sex between two characters was talked about or even implied (he watched all of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san with me, for instance) and we've talked about the basic 'mechanics' of it, but I'm not ready to talk about that specific topic

(excuse me while I go freak out)

What if after Iori jumps off the bridge and suddenly swaps bodies with someone. That would mean that she had killed a person and that she now has to live in that person's body from now on. Imagine the guilt she would have to live through.

Inaba is the best girl. Iori is a close second.

People masturbate while thinking about people they know. Nothing new with that. Next episode looks good. I'm just wondering if Aoki will have any relevance. Right now he just seems like a side character while the story revolves around Taichi and the three girls.

The preview left me wondering.

What happens if someone's body dies while other person soul is on them?

both body and current soul die and the swapped soul which lost it's body will stay in a body not belonging to them for evah?

or Will the swap end and the souls will reswap so they body1 dies along with soul1?

because something like: Iori jumps, while she falls blonde dude swapp with her, Iori's body die along with blond dude soul, and Iori is now trapped within blonde guy body.
